This dessert is a hybrid between a soufflé and a custard cake. Because everything is blended instead of whisked, the batter becomes ultra-fine and airy. Baking in a water bath creates a cloud-soft, bouncy, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a moist bottom layer and spongy top — exactly like the photos.
Tips for Best Results
✓ Use room-temperature eggs for maximum rise.
✓ Do not overblend — it adds too much air and may cause cracking.
✓ A water bath is essential for the smooth, jiggly texture.
✓ Let it cool completely before cutting; it firms up in the fridge.
✓ You can reduce sugar to 150 g for a lighter sweetness.

Q & A
Q: Can I make it without a water bath?
A: Yes, but it will be more cake-like and less silky. Water bath gives the signature “soufflé” softness.
Q: Can I use plant milk?
A: Yes, but cow’s milk produces the fluffiest structure. Plant milk results in a slightly denser cake.
Q: How long does it keep?
A: 3–4 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
Q: Can I add flavors?
A: Absolutely! Try matcha, lemon zest, cocoa, or condensed milk for a richer version.
Q: Why did my cake collapse?
A:
Oven too hot
Underbaking
Opening the oven early
Skipping the water bath
